Pirates starting pitcher Charlie Morton left Saturday's final start of the regular season in Cincinnati with the lead. Unfortunately, he couldn't win the game because he left after just 4 1/3 innings and didn't qualify for the decision.

Morton took the no-decision as he allowed three earned runs on five hits and five walks over just 4 1/3 innings on 92 pitches thrown. He got the quick hook as Pittsburgh went to Vin Mazzaro to finish off the fifth inning. Morton's ERA is now at 3.26 and he finishes his season for the Pirates with a 7-4 record over 20 starts with 85 strikeouts over 116 innings.

Morton, 29, may get a chance to pitch in the postseason if the Pirates can best the Reds in the wild card playoff game.
